Lexicon Chase hated her life. Every moment outside of home was filled with bullies. Worse than that, there was nothing she could do about it. Her family was poor, if being the only child of a near destitute woman was a family. She had no phone, no fashion, no hope, no dreams, and no future. What she did have was a heap of self-loathing and despair. Then on September 25th, her grandmother gives Lexi the throne of a magic kingdom, a place called Everhope. Immediately, Lexicon becomes immersed in an impossible dream world, a world filled with grandeur, hope, and wonder. It becomes her only escape from life, and the daily schoolyard bullies. But, there’s something very wrong with Everhope. Lexi can tell Everhope is slowly falling to ruin and she becomes desperate to save her new realm.
